Regarding nes/snes and other type controls.

Auto setup on my Xbox One gamepad, when playing SNES games, is the 'okay' button usually mapped to the B button and the cancel/back button mapped to the A button? 

Retrobox itself is 'okay' with A and cancel/back with B. Just like most modern games, think PS2 games. Cross button was 'okay' and circle was cancel/back. 

Thanks!

Nintendo has A and B labeling reversed to what is on the Xbox controller.

[KUPOkinz]

I know that lol. I'm using the button location for example. 

[Lordmonkus]

Then what exactly are you asking ?

[KUPOkinz]

There is 4 buttons on the controller (not the D-Pad, the right side of the controller). In most games, the bottom most button is the "okay/accept" button and the right most button is the "back/cancel" button. 

When I play most SNES games this is backwards. Is this how most SNES games are made or are my controls switched?

[Lordmonkus]

It depended on the game but it was a fairly common thing.

[KUPOkinz]

Okay that's what I was most curious about. So it's normally for most SNES games to have the right most button as the "okay" button?

[Lordmonkus]

I don't know if it is most or not but like I said, it was a common thing.

[KUPOkinz]

About the best of your abilities I guess. Thanks.

Yeah, I am certainly not going to go through each and every game to figure out which ones do it and don't do it. It's just one of those things I figure out what way it is while playing and just get used to it.

[KUPOkinz]

I decided to stop being lazy and do what took me less time than making the topic I googled a control sheet for a game and yes, most games use the rightmost button as "okay".  Again, thanks!

 

[Lordmonkus]

Lol, yeah thanks Nintendo for being backwards. No idea why Nintendo, Microsoft and Sony have to be different with their controller labeling.

[KUPOkinz]

I figured I'd ask you instead of opening another topic. Do you know how to change the screen resolution in the PPSSPP core of retroarch? I can't seem to find the scale x part. 

[Lordmonkus]

I believe it's in the core options for it but I recommend the stand alone version of PPSSPP over the RA core, it's much more up to date.

[KUPOkinz]

Awesome, much appreciated, I will use the standalone.

For some reason, my buttons are swapped on NES games. Take a look at how I have to set it up to get it to work (Select = Start, A = B).

I'm using an iBuffalo Classic with Mesen.

[Lordmonkus]

You can change them and then save it out as a core override.

Well yeah, that's what I did, but I find it strange that they're reversed like that. I never used to have to do that. Back in my day, A was A and B was B, and we liked it that way.
